Mary (not her real name)

I left six of us, and six of us were adamant we were going forward.

The hardest part for me was being cross-examined.

And my parents having to listen.

And I had to actually say what happened for the first time.

And I remember looking at my mum and dad in the gallery and I'm going, oh my God, I have to disclose this after so many years.

And basically that was the hardest part for me because then I actually said what happened, that Eamon Cook used to perform oral sex on us children when we were so young.

And that's when I saw my mum collapsing because nobody knew, because nobody asked.

So that was difficult.

The six of us are still sitting there and your nerves are absolutely shattered because we've been through so much.

When you hear that guilty verdict, oh my God, there is nothing as good as that feeling.

We were just elated.

I mean, we were just so jubilant, so elated.

The guards were elated.

Everybody was elated.

I walked in, see the judge.

We're sitting in a line.

And out comes Eamon Cook.

Walks in and sits beside me.

And he's writing my name over and over again on a journal.

That was absolutely horrendous.
